8. Carbon

9. Carbon 4.0 (C4)
• The latest core and products based on the Carbon
technology
• Modular middleware for on-premise and cloud
• Reconfigurable to your needs:
• When you need additional components in the same runtime
• e.g. Combine Business Process Server and Data Services)
• When you need to vertically scale as well as horizontally scale:
• e.g. Deploy API Manager with 10 gateway nodes, 6 BAM nodes and
2 Store/Provider nodes
• Improvements to Carbon are inherited by all the
Carbon products!

10. Enterprise Service Bus
• 4th Generation
• In production at dozens of customers
worldwide
• Main Characteristics:
• Based on Apache Synapse
• Configuration based (limited coding)
• Supports SOAP, REsT, APIs.
• High Performance
• Low Footprint
• Wide Interoperability

11. Connect Anything to Anything
• WSO2 ESB supports a wide range of
• Transports: HTTP, JMS, AMQP, FTP, POP, IMAP, FIX,
and more!
• Formats & Protocols: JSON, XML, SOAP, EDI, HL7,
Binary formats, CORBA/IIOP
• Legacy Adapters: SAP, PeopleSoft,
IBM WebSphere MQ, MSMQ
• Cloud Adapters: SalesForce,
• Paypal,LinkedIN, Twitter, JIRA

12. ESB Performance

13. API Ecosystem Model

14. Application Server 5.0
• Support for Apache CXF based JAXWS/JAXRS apps
• Now WSO2 AppServer ships with both Axis2 as well as CXF
frameworks
• First class support for Apache CXF services running on the Carbon
framework
• Full support for Tomcat XML configs (catalina.xml,
etc)
• URL Mapping support
• Merge of Mashup Server features
• Includes a new Server-Side JavaScript framework:

15. • A simple Server Side Javascript runtime
• Available as a standalone runtime as well (http://jaggery.io)
• Not aiming to compete with node.js but will run on top of
node.js in the future
• Currently runs on rhino
• We used Jaggery to build the API Store in API Manager
• Can embed Gadgets into .jag files
• Closes the gap between Web apps from Web services by
allowing one to create both applications and APIs at the same
time.

16. Governance Registry 4.5
What’s new
Hierarchical Subscriptions for Support for Source Configuration
Collections Management(SCM)
Onetime Email Verification for Support for Java Management
Subscriptions Extensions(JMX)
